DIVERSE PATHWAYS

A wide array of programs.

Schedules accommodate working professionals and graduate students alike.

One of my favorite aspects of the Literacy program was that it allowed me to get back in the classroom, visit different schools, and work with students in different grades. I initially thought I wanted to work with younger students but because the program allowed me to be in the field, I was able to make a more informed decision about what grades I liked to work with and what options are available.

I appreciate that you’re not only surrounded by students who just graduated college. You also have peers and faculty who are working professionals and teachers in the field. They provide such an important perspective to your learning experience. Some work in public schools, charter schools, or private schools and through collaborating with them, you learn how the concepts you read about actually apply in the real world.
